Dante

Dante - a gift of love and life to me as his adoptive father.
It was said that he was named Dante as like his literary counterpart Dante Alighieri from the Divine Comedy, he was always trying to get out of purgatory. Although he has betrayed his namesake as he tries his best to be a good dog.
After just two days together we drove across Canada from Vancouver Island to Halifax in the middle of winter, lots of bad weather, sleeping on the road half the time. A fine travelling companion he was. Never complained, never judged, never farted and the moment he stepped out of the truck he was living for the moment.
He still has bounds of energy for playing ball with a true retriever's skill and desire to please bringing the ball back each and every time. With the wisdom of his years he still easily finds himself behaving with the enthusiasm and silliness of the puppy still within him. Dante and I look forward to long walks in different parks, woods and coastal rambles everyday.
We live blissfully in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, part of the Halifax Regional Municipality and quite probably an urban heaven and haven for many happy well adjusted dogs and their loyal owners.
And Dante ...well without any doubt, he is my love and my life.
The photo album is my past year and a half with my boy. I was amazed that some pics look so similar days, months or even a year apart. Naturally, we have some favourite places, ones we return to again and again watching winter turn to summer and back again. Each time is magic, testament perhaps to the awesome life we live. & The photo at the start of the archive, his main picture against the black volcanic rock of Gabriola Island BC was just a few hours after he was gifted to me in Jan 2012.
And besides he makes me happy!
